About Capnivo
Capnivo adds captions to short-form vertical video. You upload a clip, such as a phone recording, podcast segment, webinar cut or founder video. Capnivo transcribes it, sets the caption timing and line breaks, and detects the spoken language. Then you export a 9:16, 1080p MP4 for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.
All editing happens in one clip editor. You can fix any word in the transcript, pick from 12 caption style presets, adjust colors, sizing, emphasis and layout, and move captions around the screen. You can also trim the clip, cut silent pauses automatically, and preview every change before you export. Saved brand presets keep fonts and colors the same across a team's posts.
Capnivo is built for creators, agencies, social media managers, founders, podcasters and video editors who want captioned shorts without learning a full timeline editor. You can start for free, and no credit card is needed.
About Vid.AI
Vid.AI makes faceless videos for YouTube, Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels from a topic or a pasted script. It writes the script, adds an ElevenLabs voiceover, picks visuals, background music and captions, and exports the finished video in 1080p. Long-form videos can run up to 20 minutes.
You can choose from 33 narrators or add any voice from the ElevenLabs Voice Library. For visuals, there's licensed Storyblocks stock footage, 12 AI image styles with optional moving images, motion graphics, and a 5-second cinematic intro made with Seedance. Animated AI avatars can appear at set points in a video, with automatic lip sync. Fake text stories and split-screen formats are also built in, along with a timeline editor for adjusting scenes, captions and music.
Vid.AI also has an MCP integration. You can connect it to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI agent and create videos from a chat. Video creation runs on a Vid.AI subscription and credits.
